Hi all

Just wondering if anyone remembers this car? It is a RHD UK texas brown. very low mileage, matching numbers etc.

The registration is now on a 2000 Golf, so I guess it has either been scrapped or the sold the plate. (either way is a real shame)

It was Volksworld featured in the October 1993 "Vintage" special. Lovely looking car, and was owned at the time by John Little who lived in Sunderland.

Any ideas? If my scanner starts behaving I will get some pictures up.

Thanks, just hope it is still out there...:wink:

Remember it very well and remember seeing registered on an age-related plate at a later date. Don't know it's whereabouts now though.

Sorry old bean, can't remember, but I seem to recall it was sold just after the original plate was taken off it. This was probably in 1998-ish.

Sorry no recent photos , would be a shame to take it out of a nice warm garage to take some. If we get a nice day i will take photos and post them on here for all to see what a beauty it is.
